"The Bulls would want to include Boozer in such a deal because it would allow them to avoid amnestying him and his $16.8 million salary and would also enable them to pay Anthony more money," he wrote. "But the Knicks, according to sources, will not cooperate with any plan that involves them taking back Boozer."

Boozer is coming off his 12th NBA season and averaged 13.7 points per game and 8.3 rebounds. The aforementioned contract ($16.8 million) is a lot to stomach, but it expires after 2014-15. If the Knicks thought they could use that as a trading chip or as some relief for 2015-16 to bring in big-name free agent, Boozer would have value. But it sounds like president Phil Jackson isn't interested.
